Note: The images below (once
expanded by clicking the thumbnails) are the original
full size images although your browser may be set to automatically scale the
image size to fit your screen. For SOME pictures it is better to see them in full resolution.
For others the pictures are just too huge. Someday I might resize them to
a happy medium.
To view them in full resolution
either adjust your browser settings or save the image to your computer and view
it with an image program.
To view images in full size using Internet Explorer do the following:
Open the *Tools* pull down menu
Select *Internet Options*
Click on the *Advanced* tab
Scroll down to *Multimedia*
De-select (uncheck) the box called "Enable Automatic Image Resizing"
Click *Apply* and then *OK*
In later versions of Netscape you can simply left click alternately on the image to toggle between full size and scaled size. If you have room on your hard drive I would recommend downloading the latest version of Netscape and use it to view these pictures. That way you can just toggle back and forth between the scaled size and the full size with a mouse click. You can download it here: http://netscape.com/ . Once there just scroll to bottom of page and click link for downloading latest version.

(This is the restroom. It is a tricky view from
this angle. It is NOT actually under the roof of the facility. It
protrudes out of the north end of the facility and has its own exterior roof- as
can be seen in other exterior pictures)

The following 4 pictures are not the IPF, but this is as good a place as any to put them. They are pics of the front of the Wayne Densch Sports Center. Some logo work was added to each of the 8 doors today. Specifically it was the UCF Athletics logo being etched (sandblasted) into the glass. The artist is John Frantz and he operates out of Ormond Beach. His website is here: http://www.carvedglasscompany.com/. He also does etch-look vinyl decals that resemble etched glass. Having it actually etched into the glass though allows him to vary the shading to give it a really nice look.

It will take another week or two to smooth out the low
spots/seams and bring the surface to a uniform level. They are presently
in the process of filling in the turf with a combination of sand and black
rubberized particles. This will ultimately lead to each blade of turf
having approximately the same amount sticking out of this "composite soil".

There will also be a big UCF logo that spans from 40 yard
line to 40 yard line. Elevated video platforms (for filming practice) will
be installed as well. One will be on the sidelines and the other one will
be in the end zone. The lights are not yet operational so hopefully some
brighter photos are forthcoming.

VIDEO!!!
Click this picture to play video (be very patient while the video loads)
Forgive the jittery video. I did not have my tripod and I did this in a
hurry.
The video may be intermittent the first time you play it depending on how fast
your connection is. You may want to save the file to your hard drive
first.
